Since I didn't do a `make clean` first, it finished a lot faster.  
Here's what it was trying to do when the assertion failed:

As you predicted, it's trying to use javac_g to compile several java 
classes. 

Should I change all *_g commands in the makefiles (or at least this 
particular javac_g command) to the corresponing non-_g command?

Thanks again,
